Toolkit for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Workshops

A group application workshop is a one-day, and in some cases two-day, community even that brings professionals and trained volunteers together to assist childhood arrivals or “DREAMers” in completing applications for Deferred Action. The workshop is an essential tool for efficiently and effectively providing application assistance to large numbers of people. The success of the workshop model depends on careful planning, thorough training of staff and volunteers, and high quality services. The purpose of this toolkit is to help charitable immigration programs and their volunteers achieve a successful workshop. The forms and sample documents can be used as is or adapted by local programs for their own needs.

We welcome your feedback on this toolkit and its utility. Also, if you have documents your agency has developed that you would like to send us for inclusion in the toolkit, or suggestions for additional materials to include, please send these to msardone@cliniclegal.org.
